Aero Pavilion

¨The above video is an update to the Department for Architecture Design and Media Technology‘s Aero Pavilion which was completed just last year. An environmental condition of wind combined with the penetration of light through the structure is utilized as means for architectural articulation. Emphasizing the immediate understanding of the airflow, which defines the perceptive characteristics of internal space, the simplicity of the form consists of planar plywood plates in digital parametric models for simple and fast production and assembly.¨

The Orchid Show: Patrick Blanc's Vertical Gardens

The vertical gardens of French botanist and artist Patrick Blanc--featuring structures covered in orchids, ferns, exotic plants, and epiphytes freed from the constraints of gravity--transform the historic Enid A. Haupt Conservatory into an exotic spectacle to dazzle the senses in The Orchid Show: Patrick Blanc's Vertical Gardens.

"Unfinished Spaces" [Norman Foster hand in the unfinished Cuba’s National Art Schools]

Unfinished Spaces is a documentary about Cuba’s Fidel Castro-commissioned National Art Schools, one of the most spectacular architectural "achievements" of the Cuban Revolution. The incomplete five distinct brick and terracotta marvels of three Italian architects, Ricardo Porro, Roberto Gottardi, and Vittorio Garatti, will now have the hand of Norman Foster.

Foster has been selected to convert Vittorio Garatti’s School of Ballet, partially built in 1961, into a new arts complex in the name of Cuban ballet star Carlos Acosta. Foster called the building “an iconic ruin of early Modernism”.

Description

Tudo começou com um stencil intrinsecamente ligado ao seu contexto regional. A aceitação desta "simbologia" por parte da população local foi determinante na medida em que acabou por se transformar num ícone perante a comunidade surfista local e estrangeira.

It all started with a stencil linked to its regional context. The acceptance of this "symbol" by the local population was crucial in what became an icon for the local community and foreign surfers.
